My son loves this book!
This book was purchased for my 6 year old and he loves it! It is a very nice biblical story and a beginner book for readers! I would recommend this book as it not only teaches but can be great practice for reading! C

Great book for Christmas and all year through.
The children loved the story and wanted to have it read the next night and the next night. They loved it and so did I. The pictures portrayed the mood and meaning. Great book.

Beautifully illustrated child's book
This is a beautifully illustrated child's book about a charming story regarding a blind ox at the time of Christ's birth. While certainly not Biblical, it is a beautiful story nonetheless, one that is certain to put a smile on your face.

Wonderful book for my 3 year old
My children loves this book! The prose really draws them in at age 3 and 2. And of course the illustrations are superb - very expressive. I love seeing the story of the birth of Christ from the angle of an ox. I now gift this book to my nieces and nephews

Even a grumpy old ox can change
This is an uplifting story of change. All of us need to change at times and it is not always easy, but, if the grumpy old ox can do it, so can we. We will find ourselves better off if we do change . The books by this author are very good and even children younger than the stated age can enjoy them.
